Video - Day 319

[teenyoda]

[There's a face that might be familiar to some people appearing onscreen. It looks a little less perky than it usually does and seems to be needing a moment before actually speaking.]

Hey. I don't know what happened, but I could swear I'd gone home for a while. But I'm back here again and... yeah.

I guess a few people missed me, judging by the messages waiting for me. I'll get to those in a bit, but I thought I'd let everyone know I'm back. Scott... I guess I'll see you when you've got some time. I hope things have been quiet and I have no idea how long I've been gone, so any heads up on that would be appreciated.

Comments

You know it's just going to get worse.

[teenyoda]

Yeah, but don't worry. Scott's cool with me having a piece on the side.

damnit stiles

[freezerburned]

im getting a little creeped out

he can't help it. Isaac's cheering him up

[teenyoda]

Fine, fine. I'll behave. I'll just undress you with my eyes.

Ooooh, Isaac.

[Yep. Still laughing.]

[freezerburned]

He loves you, Isaac. Looooooove him.

[teenyoda]

Oh, unbunch your panties, which look nice on you, btw.

What do you want to know? You don't die. You ride off into the sunset on a magical unicorn.

[freezerburned]

[Okay, fine. He's done trying to be delicate about it.]

you know scott tries to kill himself?

Private

[teenyoda]

Yeah, I was there. I told you, I'm past that. It's all been resolved. He didn't do it and it wasn't his fault. It was that bitch.

Private

[freezerburned]

good.

[FINALLY some traction that isn't stiles awkwardly hitting on him.]

what bitch?

Private

[teenyoda]

[That'll come later, Isaac. He's found a crack in your armor.]

Our English teacher. Ms Blake. Turns out she's some emissary gone dark side and she was the one killing everyone. She was after the Alphas since she was one of theirs before Deucalion made them kill their packs.

Private

[freezerburned]

i dont even know what an emissary is but you know what thats fine

ive learned my lesson from messing with the future i just wanted to make sure scott didnt die

Private

[teenyoda]

[Here came the hard part, but he didn't want to do it over a text.]

Come over.

Private

[freezerburned]

....if you answer the door naked i will kick you in the balls and leave

Private

[teenyoda]

Not this time, but I make no promises for the next one.

Private

[freezerburned]

im serious

ill be there in a few

Private

[teenyoda]

So am I.

;) See you.

Offline.

[freezerburned]

[The knock comes a few minutes later, after Isaac has battled with his better judgement and walked over.

He's still poised to kick, though. Just in case.]

Action

[teenyoda]

[And naked Stiles opens the door with his wolf hat on his crotch.

Just kidding. Stiles opens the door, fully dressed, but he's half hiding behind it Just in case.]

Hey.

Action

[freezerburned]

Hey.

[He doesn't really wait to be let in, Isaac just sort of shoulders his way past the door, glancing around the small walking area near the front door.]

Why'd you want to see me?

[teenyoda]

[He closes the door and wipes his hands on his pants, feeling a bit nervous now.]

Look, um, why don't you sit down for a minute?

[freezerburned]

[Isaac turns back toward him, an eyebrow arched a little in humor. This is Stiles- he said there was a happy ending, didn't he? Either way, Isaac doesn't move to sit, not quite yet.]

Is this another joke?

[teenyoda]

[He shook his head, meeting Isaac's gaze with his own.]

It was a happy ending. For most of us. Sit down, Isaac.

[freezerburned]

[There's a long pause as that sinks in, and Isaac's expression goes wary, apprehensive. The world shifts. For most of us. His mind races.

If Scott is okay, and Stiles and Isaac are okay, that leaves- who does that leave? Isaac's fingers tighten as he goes to the chair, feeling almost numb. Derek? Allison? Maybe even Boyd or Lydia? Isaac doesn't have many people, his friend group is small and the number people he actually cares about is smaller still.

He sits down, staring toward the floor over his knees. Erica is already going to die. What more is there?]

...most of us.

[teenyoda]

The Alphas... They wanted Derek to kill his pack. Some sort of sick wolf initiation into their pack. He wouldn't. So...

[He paused, hand brushing through his hair.]

They made him, Isaac. Made him kill Boyd. As far as we're concerned, they did it, but they did it with Derek's hands.

I'm sorry.

[freezerburned]

[There's a long pause, and Isaac is just quiet at that. His fingers tighten again, his eyes flicker shut for a moment. Strong hands, a wary smile, a pragmatic approach, a calm and gentle force- and just like Erica, he's gone.

Isaac takes a deep breath, and then he stands up, shoving his hands into his coat pockets so Stiles won't see how tightly they're gripped into fists.]

Is that all you called me down here for?

[He's not going to think about it. Not going to acknowledge it. Not now, maybe not for awhile. Boyd is dead- Boyd dies. Just like Erica.]

[teenyoda]

[Goddamn it, Isaac. Don't make him pull the same trick he did with Derek. You weren't leaving yet.]

Isaac. Sit down. I'm not letting you leave like this.

[That look was way too familiar and he didn't want to see it on his friend's, yes, his friend's face.]
